I won't go into a ton of specifics, but we talk about the general limitations for projects here: https://help.glitch.com/kb/article/17-technical-restrictions...

it sounds like you accidentally set your request rate limit about four orders of magnitude lower than the other limits, because you set them to 4000 requests per hour, which is about a ten-millionth of a laptop

by contrast the 512 megabytes of ram is about a 64th of a laptop and the 712 megabytes of disk is about a thousandth of a laptop

this results in absurd situations like this one, where a purely static web app collapsed under a load you could literally handle on a commodore 64 on dialup

well, i guess with tls you might need a 25-MHz 386 on dialup
